Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a ...

Shear flow systems can reveal in vivo-like changes in cell growth, adhesion and movement not observed in static assays, effectively emulating in vivo conditions and revealing true biology. In this ...

Shear flow systems offer powerful insights into cell behavior, revealing what static assays often miss. By simulating in vivo conditions, this approach helps uncover crucial biological details in ...

Many medical devices for treating heart failure generate nonphysiological shear flow. This can trigger the destruction of red blood cells after implantation of ventricular assist devices (VADs ...

Shear Flow. Shear flow can be described as several layers of fluid sliding over each other, with each upper layer moving faster than the layer below it. The bottom layer of the fluid is considered to ...

In situ measurements were undertaken to characterize particle fields in undisturbed oceanic environments. Simultaneous, co-located depth profiles of particle fields and flow characteristics were ...

Flow Curves. Flow curves to measure the shear viscosity versus shear rate or shear stress. At sufficiently low shear rates a constant value for the viscosity will be attained. This so called zero ...

Shear testing, as initially developed in the 1960s by Jenike, is also used widely for the characterization of various aspects of, primarily, ... Universal powder testers that can measure the bulk, ...

During El Niño events, upper-level winds over the Atlantic tend to be stronger than usual, and thus stronger wind shear results. The faster air flow in the upper troposphere leads to faster wind ...
